This is a spotless hostel! We were so impressed by how hard everyone in the staff worked to make sure the entire place is perfectly clean! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were clean with great water pressure. It’s so conveniently located. Don’t hesitate to stay here.
Very nice hostel in a wonderful location. Everything in Mount Cook Villaga is walking distance... no need for a vehicle when there. Property is very well kept and staff are present for most of the day. Everything you could need at your finger tips.
I loved my stay at Haka house Mt cook! I stayed in an 8 bed dorm room and found it to be very comfortable. The lockers were big and beds felt really private. Clean shower rooms and toilets. Kitchen was well equipped. The views right outside are absolutely stunning!
Location is wonderful. There are no many options for budget travelers around Mt Cook. Yet it is worth to visit. Staff are friendly. Price are competitive.
Hostel itself is very clean, excellent staff, workable kitchen, etc. The only down side is that it’s a short drive or a long walk to most trailheads & of course any other loud/inconsiderate guests. The place is great though!
